I think that's a good idea actually. So I added it to the backup blueprint:

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/backups#index7h2

The bad news is that our core team is very busy trying to improve our
internal infrastructure and making the project more sustainable and we
have little time to dedicate to actually implement the crazy new
features that we have in mind (like this one).

But another good point about your idea is that it shouldn't be *too*
hard to implement by someone who is new to coding for Tails.
